Evaluation of the effectiveness of positive psychology-based interventions on post-traumatic growth, self-compassion and quality of life in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
Introduction: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a relatively rare disease that can be associated with various mental, physical and psychological burdens. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions based on positive psychology on post-traumatic growth, self-compassion and quality of life in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Methods: This descriptive-...
متن کاملAnalysis of serial magnetic resonance images of mouse brains using image registration
The aim of this paper is to investigate techniques that can identify and quantify cross-sectional differences and longitudinal changes in vivo from magnetic resonance images of murine models of brain disease. Two different approaches have been compared. The first approach is a segmentation-based approach: Each subject at each time point is automatically segmented into a number of anatomical str...
متن کاملResolving relaxometry and diffusion properties within the same voxel in the presence of crossing fibres by combining inversion recovery and diffusion-weighted acquisitions.
PURPOSE A comprehensive image-based characterization of white matter should include the ability to quantify myelin and axonal attributes irrespective of the complexity of fibre organization within the voxel. While progress has been made with diffusion MRI-based approaches to measure axonal morphology, to date available myelin metrics simply assign a single scalar value to the voxel, reflecting ...
متن کاملAssociation between Subcortical Vascular Lesion Location and Cognition: A Voxel-Based and Tract-Based Lesion-Symptom Mapping Study. The SMART-MR Study
INTRODUCTION Lacunar lesions (LLs) and white matter lesions (WMLs) affect cognition. We assessed whether lesions located in specific white matter tracts were associated with cognitive performance taking into account total lesion burden. METHODS Within the Second Manifestations of ARTerial disease Magnetic Resonance (SMART-MR) study, cross-sectional analyses were performed on 516 patients with...
متن کاملThe NIH MRI study of normal brain development Brain Development Cooperative Group
MRI is increasingly used to study normal and abnormal brain development, but we lack a clear understanding of ‘‘normal’’. Previous studies have been limited by small samples, narrow age ranges and few behavioral measures. This multi-center project conducted epidemiologically based recruitment of a large, demographically balanced sample across a wide age range, using strict exclusion factors and...
